300: Nangong Shushuang

The waiting time was undoubtedly long.

Waiting for rescue was even more so.

In the front carriages of the train, the conductor and chief attendant looked at the broken tracks ahead, which looked as if they had been plowed by oxen, and could hardly suppress the unease in their hearts.

Just now, through the report of the attendant at the rear of the train, they already knew that the tracks behind had also been destroyed by something underneath!

Now they were stuck, unable to advance or retreat!

"Beep, beep, beep~"

The communication channel for M City was connected again.

"This is the M City Military Region, I am the Military Region Commander." On the other end of the communication, a majestic tone was revealed.

Hearing the other party's identity, the conductor was startled.

How could even the Commander of the M City Military Region be alarmed?

Without waiting for the conductor to speak, the Commander on the other end of the communication continued: "Your bullet train, which is unable to move forward and is stopped outside M City, is numbered dsh130?"

"Yes." The conductor said affirmatively.

There was a slight silence on the other end of the communicator.

Then he said very seriously: "On your bullet train, there is our country's first Dr. of Biological Evolution Experiment Research!"

"I will send you her information. During the period when our Army in M City meets up with your bullet train, her safety must be ensured, even if you all have to sacrifice yourselves!"

The unquestionable tone made the conductor and the staff beside him hold their breath slightly.

On their bullet train, there was actually such a distinguished person!

"Yes, we will definitely ensure her safety!" The conductor's expression was serious.

...

In the carriage.

After the initial frustration, the people around gradually quieted down.

After all, the conductor had just promised that the train tickets could be directly refunded.

And in the seat by the window.

Li Xiu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Beep~ Task released."

Task: Escape to Safety

Reward: Issued based on rating

Failure: Death

The mechanical voice of the System in his mind completely confirmed the unease in Li Xiu's heart!

It wasn't safe here, even with the Army on the way, it was still the same, otherwise the System wouldn't have released the task, so he had to escape!

He suddenly stood up!

Li Xiu looked at Lin Yue beside him, then looked at Xu Feng in the back seat: "Teacher Xu, we should go!"

"Go?" Xu Feng said slowly: "Where to?"

"It's not safe here, we must escape from here!" When saying this, Li Xiu deliberately lowered his voice.

Lin Yue beside him, however, spoke up: "Aren't we waiting for the Army? If it's dangerous, wouldn't getting off the bullet train be even more dangerous?"

"In fact, it's more dangerous on the train!" Li Xiu's lowered tone carried some urgency.

"I think it's safer to wait for the military to arrive." Xu Feng looked out the train window.

He didn't have a God's perspective, nor did he know that Li Xiu was some kind of protagonist.

What he saw now was just a green Student who thought it was more dangerous inside the train without any evidence.

Xu Feng couldn't possibly follow him resolutely to the obviously more dangerous place outside the train just because of Li Xiu's two sentences.

Seeing the strong Xu Feng's attitude like this, Li Xiu sighed heavily.

He wanted to explain but didn't know how. Realizing the urgency of time, he directly grabbed Lin Yue's hand beside him: "Let's go, we're leaving here!"

With Lin Yue not quite understanding, Li Xiu took her to the bullet train door.

As expected, the two who wanted to get off the train were stopped by the attendant.

However.

After several arguments, Li Xiu and Lin Yue still took the opportunity to run out of the carriage.

Only the attendant was left frantically trying to keep them, and the people inside the train craned their necks to watch the show.

Looking at the two people who ran out of the carriage through the window, Xu Feng's eyes flickered slightly.

From the perspective of a normal person's thinking, the carriage was undoubtedly safer.

But Li Xiu was so certain that it was more dangerous inside the train, and had even run out of the carriage. This behavior made Xu Feng think a bit more.

"Their decision is good. Compared to the outside, it is most dangerous to be on the train."

Suddenly.

A woman's voice, devoid of extra emotion, entered Xu Feng's ears.

He turned his head to look.

This was a woman wearing a white coat and carrying a silver-white briefcase.

It seemed she had just walked into this carriage.

"What do you know?" Seeing the strange woman in front of him, Xu Feng's expression remained unchanged.

The woman looked indifferently at Li Xiu and Lin Yue outside the window and said to Xu Feng: "On the track section ahead, the soil is extensively turned over and the tracks are twisted. From the traces, it seems to be the work of evolutionary creatures in the soil."

"The nearby woods are very quiet with no living animals, indicating that the entire area underground around the bullet train is the territory of that creature."

"Furthermore, from the insect husks in the woods, it can be roughly guessed that this is not a powerful individual creature, but a greedy group of creatures."

"We are all being targeted by a group of things underground. They are all around under the tracks, and the attention of these guys is all on the bullet train."

"That young man escaping now indeed has a better chance of survival than us."

In just a few words, Xu Feng actually heard a sense of reliability from her.

He also learned a new term — evolutionary creature.

After speaking, the woman looked at Xu Feng: "Hello, my name is Nangong Shushuang."

"Xu Feng." He nodded friendly. The woman in front of him was very beautiful.

But Xu Feng's first feeling was a slight chill.

This was due to the woman's eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well; Xu Feng couldn't see any expression in them.

"Originally, I was four carriages away from you, but I bypassed 92 people and took 97 seconds to come directly in front of you, a stranger. Do you know why?"

The woman asked a question that Xu Feng was destined not to be able to answer.

Without leaving time for Xu Feng to answer, she continued: "Because you are sturdier than an ordinary A Man."

The calm voice made Xu Feng's eyes widen slightly, and a question mark and an exclamation mark popped up in his head.

The two sisters, Xu Xue, beside him, looked at Nangong Shushuang with even greater disbelief, then looked at Xu Feng beside them.

It was only after Nangong Shushuang's next words that the twin sisters smiled awkwardly, realizing they had misunderstood: "The life peak value of an ordinary adult male is between 5 and 10, while your life peak value is between 31 and 36."

"That young man outside has a life peak value between 10 and 15, which is second only to you among the 1032 people on this bullet train."

"Life peak value?" This was the first time Xu Feng had heard this term.

"Every life has its peak value. The peak value also represents physical fitness. Excluding some special circumstances, the higher the peak value, the stronger the strength."

"So, you found me, for what?" Realizing that the other party's goal was himself, and that she even knew his physical strength, Xu Feng became a little wary.

Nangong Shushuang: "You protect me and leave here."

"Isn't the Army on the way?" Xu Feng shook his head.

The woman said directly: "The sky above M City has been occupied by a swarm of hornets, so planes cannot be dispatched. The Army could reach here in just 43 minutes without considering environmental factors, but with environmental factors, it will take four or five hours."

"And we, however, will completely fall into the abyss in 23 minutes." Saying this, the woman looked at her watch: "To be precise, 23 minutes and 31 seconds."

"Fall into the abyss? But we are on the train..." Xu Feng said, his gaze subconsciously glancing outside the bullet train, where there were only cracks!

He suddenly paused: "You mean, our entire bullet train will fall into the ground?!"

Nangong Shushuang's gaze didn't waver: "A little intelligence."

"Your identity is not simple." Hearing the woman in front of him reveal so many secrets, Xu Feng still didn't immediately agree.

Nangong Shushuang said without concealing anything: "From the perspective of ordinary people, my identity is indeed not simple, and I need to leave alive even more."

This sentence was said without the slightest arrogant expression, or rather, she had no expression at all.

It was more like stating that gold is more valuable than stones.

Xu Feng: "What's in it for me?"

As if she had expected Xu Feng to say this, Nangong Shushuang opened the briefcase in her hand.

Inside, there was a syringe with a light green liquid.

"This is the result of the research by me and my research team in Kyoto. It can increase the life peak value of a person with a peak value below 200 by 40 to 70 points, provided that the other party's body can withstand it and not collapse."

"I call it, Evolution Potion [First Sequence]. Currently, there are only five doses in the entire World."
